Obama's Eligibility to Hold Office: Issue Not Going Away

New Sheriff Calls for Roundup of Obama Records

A presentation by WND’s Jerome Corsi to a standing-room-only crowd has
convinced a New Jersey lawmaker and a local sheriff that the issue of
President Obama’s eligibility for office “will have to be addressed.”

“The easiest way to put this to rest is to have the records
unsealed,” Morris County Sheriff Ed Rochford told the Huffington Post in
an email following the April 4 event in Morristown. “Mr. Corsi made a
very convincing argument that President Obama may not be a natural born
citizen of the United States.”

Likewise, New Jersey Assemblyman Anthony Bucco, R-Boonton, said
Corsi’s speech leaves doubts about Obama’s citizenship status. He told
the website it is not his place to determine whether Obama is a citizen,
and he believes “a higher authority” must resolve the issue.

“I am not in a position to say what he put up on screen is
demonstrative of evidence; that is for the court of law,” Bucco said.
“This issue has not resolved itself. It won’t until some higher
authority is involved.”

The evening was organized by Billy Baer and Dan Haggerty, who cohost
the radio program “The Baer Haggerty Offensive” on Repatriot Radio
broadcast on WNJC 1360 AM in
Philadelphia. Corsi told a crowd of 250 people: “The mainstream media
has not given this fair treatment. But this is not going away. We really
don’t know who our president is.”

Presenting research from “Where’s the Birth Certificate?” and
utilizing a MacBook to show documents on a screen, Corsi used Abode
Illustrator software to separate the layers of the document released by
the White House and zoomed in on irregularities that show the document
is a “bad forgery.” In his presentation, he provided evidence of
inconsistencies between Hawaii health officials’ statements that there
was no long-form birth certificate and Obama’s release of the purported
certificate, and discrepancies concerning the name of the hospital where
Obama was said to have been born. Corsi reported that Obama may be using a fraudulent Social Security number.
He explained the evidence suggesting Obama’s Selective Service
documentation is not genuine, and he also discussed the topic of Obama’s
school transcripts – which have yet to be released.

“There were many other talking points that I can say raised ‘a red flag,’” Sheriff Rochford said after the event.

According to the report, Bucco said he wouldn’t oppose a requirement
that presidential candidates provide evidence of citizenship before
getting on the New Jersey ballot.

“I think everyone should be able to provide something that shows citizenship,” Bucco added.

Meanwhile, Bucco warned that the eligibility issue will not simply disappear.

“He’s sitting in the Oval Office and he’s running again,” he said.
“Based on the information that this gentleman put out, it’s not going
away. This will have to be answered at some time. It will have to be
addressed.”
